Anthropogenic Land-Use Change
HOW WILL SOA RESPOND TOFUTURE CLIMATE EMISSIONS
AND LAND-USE CHANGE?
Coupled land-atmosphere model used to examine how SOA responds to future climate and emissions. Project a 43% increase in burden in 2100 (A1B) [Heald et al., submitted]
WHAT DO AMBIENT OBSERVATIONS TELL US ABOUT SOA?
Two studies focused on ACE-Asia (off of Japan) and ITCT-2K4 (NE North America) aircraft campaigns demonstrate large gaps in our understanding of SOA (as simulated by models) [Heald et al., 2005; 2006]

CONTINUING/ONGOING DIRECTIONS
What can satellite observations of AOD tell us
about SOA?
What can the suite of detailed gas/aerosol phase in situ observations
tell us about OC sources? How can we improve global model
representations of SOAformation?
BVOC global emissions responseto climate/environment (eg. CO2)and impacts on chemistry-climate
